Republican congresswoman accused of hypocrisy for anti-abortion vote

Nancy Mace calls measure to block reimbursement of travel costs for military seeking procedure asshole move' then votes for it

The fallout from the decision by House Republicans to include a divisive anti-abortion measure in Friday's defense spending vote has snared the South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace, who has been accused of hypocrisy for voting for it.

On Thursday, Mace, who has frequently been at odds with her party over its abortion stance, launched a profanity-laced tirade apparently against the inclusion of an amendment that would block the reimbursement of travel costs for military members who seek the procedure.
